Trade deadline discussion

So with that being that... Not really thrilled with the direction we went.

Ingles + 2 2nds should've been in range for a real contributor on a meh contract (eg Josh Richardson) and instead we went for saving some money and a prospect who hasn't looked ready to contribute.

Why would Boston prefer that to what they ended up doing (getting under the tax while using Richardson to fetch back a better player)? They ended up as buyers, not sellers this deadline.

We could've been involved with the Spurs/Celtics Derrick White trade. Richardson wound up in San Antonio, I can't imagine they wouldn't have at least considered moving him for an expiring/2nds.

White to Boston
Ingles to SA
Richardson here

+ minor parts/2nds

Oh good. We're at the bait-and-switch stage. We got all prepped on "only Joe's contract is being traded" and "they sat down and he knew about this" and that "Joe wants to do this to help his team" and now we're moving to "yeah, he's probably not coming back."

Joe Ingles is a better man than me, because I’d want to come back and ****ing bury the Jazz.

Maybe Spurs preferred Richardson to an expiring contract and 2nds. Maybe we did try to get in. Maybe we preferred to save the money that came with the NAW trade. Maybe Ainge actually likes NAW as a long-term play over Richardson. I don't know. I was advocating for Richardson (but only assuming Clarkson was moved, otherwise he'd have had no path to really play).

Do you know what for example means dude?

I get it, that particular deal may not have been able to work out for any number of reasons.

We went a weird damn direction with our move, we had a chance to get better this season and barring a big surprise break-out we didn't do it.

Wonder if the rest of the league has run out of willingness to let OKC take a 50% commission on all moves as the league's "banker".

That sounds good in theory but if you are Ainge or any GM and can save your owner 10s of millions you go ahead and do that anyway.

I wonder if they can do a re-negotiate and extend type of deal with Dort or Kenny that gets them more now and makes their numbers smoother later. Its been a while so I don't know those rules by hear anymore.

Keeping his negotiating leverage and bringing it to the offseason before free agency for a team desperate to duck the tax at the last second or something like that. I guess. I don't know, I've never quite jived with the idea that you can't make a trade that ever gets you less than you think the return should be.
